CONNECTOR OVERVIEW

## What you can integrate or automate

Teams can integrate or automate employee, payroll, payslip and accounting workflows between their SaaS app and Shireburn Indigo. Use Cyclr to map employee records, pull payslips and payroll calculations, and push or reconcile accounting interface data while keeping each customer tenant isolated. See the Indigo API developer portal for available endpoints and onboarding steps. ([community.cyclr.com](https://community.cyclr.com/connector-guides/shireburn/shireburn-setup))

### Why use Cyclr?

Cyclr delivers these Shireburn automations as embeddable, white label workflows that run multi-tenant and reusable across customers. Build one governed integration, expose it inside your product, and use Cyclr orchestration to centralize error handling, tenant mapping and operational logging. Deploy faster and reduce engineering maintenance. ([indigohelp.shireburn.com](https://indigohelp.shireburn.com/en/collections/1863414-developers?utm_source=cyclr))

IMPLEMENTATION

## Authentication at a glance

Shireburn Indigo requires two API keys: an Open API Key and an Azure Primary Key (issued after subscribing to the Payroll Standard product). A Company Code (tenant) is also required for API calls. Confirm enabled Cyclr options in Console. ([community.cyclr.com](https://community.cyclr.com/connector-guides/shireburn/shireburn-setup))

 Authentication methodOpen API Key; Azure API KeyCredential required

Azure Primary Key; Open API Key; Company Code

 **Before you begin:**

Azure subscription activation can take several hours; Primary Key appears after subscription activation. ([community.cyclr.com](https://community.cyclr.com/connector-guides/shireburn/shireburn-setup))

COMMON QUESTIONS

## Frequently asked questions

 What can the Shireburn connector integrate or automate? *↓*

It integrates employee, payroll, payslip and accounting-interface workflows — for example reading payslips, pulling payroll calculations and syncing accounting exports between Shireburn Indigo and your app. ([indigohelp.shireburn.com](https://indigohelp.shireburn.com/en/articles/5357299-30th-june-2021?utm_source=cyclr))

 How does authentication work for the Shireburn connector? *↓*

Authentication uses two keys: an Open API Key and an Azure Primary Key (the Azure key is issued after subscribing to the Payroll Standard product). A Company Code is required for tenant-scoped calls. ([community.cyclr.com](https://community.cyclr.com/connector-guides/shireburn/shireburn-setup))

 Can I embed Shireburn integrations for many customer accounts? *↓*

Yes. Cyclr runs multi-tenant, white‑label integrations; map each customer to its Shireburn Company Code and keys so workflows operate per-tenant with isolated credentials. ([community.cyclr.com](https://community.cyclr.com/connector-guides/shireburn/shireburn-setup))

 Can supported Shireburn methods be exposed as governed MCP tools? *↓*

Yes. Cyclr lets you package connector methods as governed, reusable MCP tools and publish them inside an embedded marketplace, with centralized governance and logging. Confirm exact method exposure in Console. ([indigohelp.shireburn.com](https://indigohelp.shireburn.com/en/collections/1863414-developers?utm_source=cyclr))
